Southern Rock – Another British Bailout

In a plebiscite of more than 1,500 residents, (nobody asked the 700,000+ sheep and more than 1 million penguins on the islands) brought on by increasing tensions with Argentina over the islands ultimate sovereignty, only three residents voted against the continuation of British rule over the barren windswept chain of South Atlantic islands.

So now that the Kelpers have spoken and the Argentines still don’t care, could this turn into a decades-long tepid disagreement like Britain has with Spain in Gibraltar? Or will this conflate into another opportunity for both wilting countries to show off the little muscle they have left (as they did in 1982)?
